Vision & The Negev

By Anonymous -










Vision:
 For those of us who have the ability to see what is around us is truly gifted. Sight has the ability to notice both things of beauty and ugliness. When looking into the sense sight, I usually choose to reminisce on what has caught my eye and truly created something subliminal. A nostalgic time that I was very in tuned with sight would have been when I was in the Negev Desert in Israel. I had been going through an IDF (Israeli Defense Force) program in order to get me acquainted with the soldier life since I hold dual citizenship I have to serve out my 3 years with the IDF. On our first day we ended day training around 5 pm, we began to set up camp and our tents. It was an hour or so later that I saw the most exquisite sight I to this day have ever seen. Around 6-7 pm the sky became dark and the galaxy showed its face. My eyes were able to see not billions but trillions of stars in the sky. In all my life I have never seen so many stars before in what was the most pulchritude range of vision. I was awe struck at being able to see the Andromeda Galaxy and tenfold as many stars. It was at that moment I truly appreciated the ability to see and have that chance to actually view such beauty. I believe that sight is a gift that many people do not appreciate, and ever since that moment I have never lost the love at being able to see such magnificence.

I think having the opportunity to take Smells and Bells and then experiencing a worldwide pandemic came with good timing.

We’re so accustomed to the lifestyle of being busy that it has become the norm for many of us. However, the pandemic has forced us to slow down. We’re now appreciating everything that we had previously taken for granted and noticing things in our surroundings that we have never noticed before.  Take this quarantining/social distancing as an opportunity to be more aware of what you experience through the senses. I don’t think my senses have necessarily heightened over the past 5 weeks, but I am actively making the choice to pay more attention to what I see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. I like going on nature/mindfulness walks and basking in the sunshine out in my backyard. This morning, I could hear a faint noise from the wind, hear the birds chirping, f

Food in the Afterlife

In Religion in the Kitchen: Cooking, Talking, and the Making of Black Atlantic Traditions , Perez talks of Ashabi and her grandchildren providing food offerings to their ancestors. This immediately reminded me of the practice of food sacrifice in early China. I've taken Chinese language classes for about 7 years now and in one of the lessons, we learned about food as well as the history of food in Chinese culture. Ashabi and her grandchildren would give food offerings to their ancestors every day. This included nine beverages (coffee, liquor, and water mixed with sugar and molasses) and nine square pieces of coconut topped with red palm oil and guinea pepper. The offerings would also include whatever food was dropped on the ground. In their house, food dropping on the floor signified more than it would in common American households. It signified that the ancestors wanted that food and had willingly made it fall to the floor. They also used dishware that had been chipped which was
